Cypress Semiconductor, the market leader in touch sensing, has announced that luxury car manufacturer BMW has selected its CapSense® capacitive touch solution for the infotainment system of its BMW 5, 6 and 7 series, as well as 5GT, X5 and X6 models. Program.
The Kanban board of the infotainment system includes Cypress's CapSense CY8C21534 chip, which meets the AEC-Q100 standard. The AEC-Q100 standard ensures that components meet stringent automotive quality system standards. Each control panel has six to eight numbered mechanical keys, which can be programmed to the task function selected by the driver. The user only needs to touch the button to display the programmed function, and then press the mechanical button to activate it. The console can perform three operations, including navigation system, AM / FM radio and hands-free phone communication.
Cypress's automotive-grade CapSense devices are available in Class A (-40C to 85C) and Class E (-40C to 125C). Other competitive products usually do not have Class E. Automotive-grade CapSense makes an attractive, feature-rich interface possible, and its durability is significantly better than mechanical buttons and sliders. In addition, the industry-leading reliability, noise resistance and waterproof performance make it have excellent performance in harsh automotive working environments. The detection range of the CapSense proximity sensing function can reach 25 cm, which can be activated only when needed, thereby reducing energy consumption. This series of devices is ideal for in-vehicle applications such as audio, navigation, air-conditioning control and lighting control. It is also suitable for off-vehicle applications such as trunk opening and passive keyless entry buttons.
Cypress Automotive Division Director Hassane El Khoury said: "We are very pleased that the luxury brand BMW can adopt our market-leading capacitive touch interface. CapSense can make the interior design more stylish and more powerful. We look forward to using capacitor The trend of touch technology continues. "
About CapSense
Cypress ’s CapSense touch-sensing solution has replaced 3.5 billion mechanical buttons. Applications involved include mobile phones, notebook computers, consumer electronics, white goods, automotive applications, and almost all systems with mechanical buttons or switches. This makes Cypress a leader in touch sensing. CapSense is the industry's most selective and highly integrated product line. With its excellent anti-noise and waterproof capacitive touch interface, it strengthens industrial design and reliability. CapSense proximity sensing can achieve an industry-leading sensing distance of 25 cm. This feature can be used to activate an interface only when necessary to achieve power saving purposes; at the same time, it can only expose an interface when necessary to further improve Industrial design. Users can use the PSoC programmable system-on-chip architecture and PSoC Designer ™ embedded design tools to quickly and easily use pre-configured and verified "user modules" and real-time sensor tuning and monitoring to implement CapSense designs.

Monocrystalline silicon is an infrared material with excellent comprehensive cost performance. It can be divided into transmission grade and mirror grade. As a transmission grade material, optical grade Czochralski silicon (OCZ SI) is widely used in the mid infrared (1-6um) band, with an infrared transmittance of more than 50%. Zone fused monocrystalline silicon can be used in wider band (1-14um), and high-purity zone fused monocrystalline silicon (hpfz SI) can even be used in far-infrared band (greater than 30um).
Silicon single crystal is also an excellent laser mirror material. Compared with other mirror materials such as copper and molybdenum, silicon single crystal is the preferred substrate material for CO2 laser mirror because of its good thermal conductivity, excellent thermal stability, low coefficient of thermal expansion, relatively low density, low cost and easy precision processing.
